My brother was to my right, writing in his little book (he's a writer), and I was sketching in my sketchbook, and Calvin's brother Joshua was too my left bored out of his mind. Luckily, I usually carry an additional tiny sketchbook in my wallet! (I'm a little obsessed.) So I handed it to him and he made an incredible perspective drawing of the seat in front of him. I let him keep the sketchbook.

We ate lunch at the famous Arcade Restaurant, delicious as always, before heading over to Martyrs Park to get a good look at the Mississippi River, which on that day was still about 3 days short of cresting. It was an amazing sight, and it was equally amazing to see all the people out looking at the river!

I like to start out a big sketch day with the Memphis Urban Sketchers by doing quick sketches, but they get out of hand and I do one GIANT sketch. So on this day I drew a bunch of boxes in which to make quick sketches - brilliant! But then I sort of overdid the details for them to be quick sketches, right? Oh well, I did quick sketches on the right side of the sketchbook.
